City Of Chicago Chords & Lyrics - Christy Moore

[G] In the [D]city if [Em]Chicago,
[G] As the [D]evening [Bb]shadows fall,
[C] There Are [D]people [Em]dreaming,
[C] Of the [D]hills of Done[Am]gal.

[VERSE 1]
[Am]Eighteen forty - [C]seven
[D]Was the year it all [Em]began,
[Am]Deadly pains of [C]hunger,
[D]Drove a million from the [Em]land.
[Am]They journeyed not for [C]glory,
[D]Their motive wasn't [Em]greed,
[Am]A voyage of [C]survival,
[D]Across the stormy [Em]sea.

[CHORUS X1]

Verse 2: Same cords as 1st verse

Some of them knew fortune,
Some of them knew fame,
More of them knew hardship,
And died working on the plane.
They spread throughout the nation,
They rode the railroad cars,
Brought their songs and music,
To ease their lonely hearts.

[CHORUS X1]
